Arenal Volcano!

Wow! We are so lucky to have started out our around the world trip with such a fantastic natural site. The five of us trekked out the surroundings for some great views of the Volcano during the day and night! It is an active volcano that still has lava running down it! Scary but so cool!

We did have a bit of trouble in the airport once we arrived because Kristen thought she forgot her passport and wallet, but it turns out she packed it in another section of her bag.

We scrambled from my apartment near the airport to get in line for security at 5 am, two hours before our flight! The only thing that kept us awake is the adrenaline of knowing we were about to set out on a life changing trip.

We started out with $100,000 divided into 8 weeks is $12,500. So far the flights for the whole group were $2,558.35, which left us with $9,941.65 left in the budget for this leg of the trip, $97,441.65 in our total pool!

The best part of the trip was being chased by monkeys down the street! There is a picture in the slideshow showing how they ganged up on us!

The rest of the members will share their aspects and responsibilities for the trip as well.

  1. When you post the activity I need for you to handle the transportation to the site and costs for guide services etc. Don't just give me one or two sentences that you got there ~ how did you get there and why?
